Enjoy a lemonade bar and birthday snacks (Happy 75th Birthday, Miss Booth!) and join a group study session in the adjacent Collaboration Commons. Grab a snack and a study spot, and recharge your laser focus to finish the semester strong!
- Therapy Dogs, May 4 & 5, 1 to 3 p.m. in the library's South Lobby
If you need a nuzzle, stop by Booth's south entry on Monday and Tuesday, May 4 and 5 between 1 and 3 p.m. to cuddle a canine and let the stress drop away.

While fully clothed and lying face-up on a massage table, Dr. Rhoads will work with pressure points in your body to help relieve body aches, release unwanted stress, and boost well-being. Treat yourself to fifteen minutes of deep relaxation and stress relief!

Let your family know you're working hard and will see them soon. You provide the message, we'll provide the postage.
